AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Sure, Grandma, Let's Get You To Bed' meme features an image macro template that includes two characters: an elderly woman using a walker and a younger woman assisting her. In the template, the elderly woman is typically labeled with an outdated opinion or activity that is seen as no longer relevant or accurate. She represents an old or outdated viewpoint that is humorously dismissed. The younger woman is always labeled with the phrase 'sure grandma, let's get you to bed', indicating a patronizing agreement to gently disregard the elderly woman's statement. The conversation depicted symbolizes the dismissal of outdated ideas with a humorous undertone.
